Why the ancients were so subtle in writing love poems

Take China's first general collection of poetry, the Book of Poetry, for example, there are quite a few lines describing love in that. "Si Wu Yi" of the love depicted in the "Poetry Classic" is also pure and innocent. "Reed reed, white dew for frost. The so-called Iren, in the water side, backtracking from the, the road is long. Trace the swim from the, just like in the center of the water?"

This poem shows us such a picture, two people in love, separated by a river bay, as if separated by thousands of mountains and tens of thousands of water, thinking of and remembering that person in their hearts, but to really be with each other, to cross that circuitous flowing water, it is not so easy to reach the other side of the river. Not coincidentally, there is also a famous poem in later times that reflects something very similar to it, "You live at the head of the Yangtze River, I live at the end of the Yangtze River, I think about you day and night and I don't see you, **** drinking a river."

There is no lack of such mutual admiration in Qu Yuan's works, such as "Xiangjun" and "Lady Xiang", which depict the deep longing and faint sorrow between Xiangjun and Lady Xiang. "Yuan has? Ruoxi has a sweet orchid, and I think of my son before I dare to speak." What a subtle yet sincere emotion.

The ancients and modern people are not the same, we do not have such convenient transportation and communication equipment, modern people, regardless of the distance between the ends of the earth, each other want to each other, as long as a phone call, you can hear each other's voices, send text messages, on the QQ, able to communicate in a variety of ways.
